REMOVA L OF LORD NORMANBY !—The Mail's invention is extinguished by the Dublin Correspondent of the Chronicle. His Excellency, of course, will remain Viceroy. The simple truth is, that in the course of the next month he goes to visit his estates in Yorkshire. But s o little warranty is there for the statement that Lord Norinanby is about to retire from the government of Ire land, that the day for his first levee is already fixed. A singular circumstance occurred a short time since in Sebergliam. A family, consisting only of ladies and a female servant, were aroused at a very early hour in the morning by the delibe ra t e r i ng i n of the drawing-room bell, as by some person requiring atten d ance . Aft er a s h ort g interval, it was again steadily rung ; this was repeated five or six times, to the horror of those who heard the unwonted summons. As it appeared, however, that the unknown and unwelcome intruder perseveringly demanded attention, one of the ladie s an d the servant, after procur i ng a li g h t , de termined t o wa i t upon their myster i ous gues t, w h o b a d t h us unceremoniou s l y taken possession of the drawing-room. Upon enteri ng t h e room, the nocturna l v i s it an t, i n th e per son of a h uge rat, very abrupt l y qu itt e d th e a p ar t men t, without the smallest apology for the disturbance and dismay he had occasioned. It is supposed that he descended the chimney, and, after, fruitless attempts to escape by the deor and windows, had attempted his ascent again by the bell rope, which he doubtless had effected, as was manifest by the damage done to the paper-hangings and bell-wire, along which he must have continued his course for some yards.— Carlisle Patriot. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of much public business. A great deal of interest was excited by Mr. Sheriff Wood's notice of a motion relative to Mr. Thomas Clarkson, A.M., to whose exertions has been prin cipally owing the emancipation of the African slave. THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE. Mr. ROBINSON, the Chairman of the Navigation Com mittee, requested to be informed what progress had been made in the building of the Royal Exchange. The question was of considerable importance as regarded the tenants of the houses which it might be necessary to remove on ac count of the approaches, as well as regarded the transaction of commercial business. Mr. R. L. JONES very much regretted that he could not give that satisfactory answer which he was anxious to be able to re t urn t o a quest i on wh i c h i nvo l ve d so manyim portant considerations. The fact was, as was well known,. that the L or d s o f t h e T reasury had a veto as to t h e site of the intended new Exchange. The Parliament gave them that power in order that the public should be protected as to the enlarged area, and also as to the avenues around it. A Deputation waited upon the Treasury on the 4th of October last, and they saw Mr. Baring, and submitted the outline of the proposed area to the consi deration of their Lordships. The plan was promised to be returned in a few days; as he (Mr. Jones) stated to Mr. Baring that until the Lords of the Treasury should sanction the outline of the plan the Committee could not give notice to any of the parties whose property was required, and the Act directed that they should have six months' notice. Up to the present time, however, the plan had not been received from the Treasury, but he had had the honour of a conference with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his own request, together with the Remembrancer, and that Right Honourable Gentleman stated that he con sidered the Lords of the Treasury had a veto upon the plan of the future Exchange. He (Mr. Jones) ventured to state to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he was quite sure the Act gave no such powers to the Treasury, and that he was convinced the Gresham trust, who were the parties to re-build the Exchange, would not consent to such a veto, as it was their intention to rebuild the Exchange out of their own private funds. Since the period at which that interview took place, not having heard anything from the Treasury of a conclusive nature, he requested the Remem brancer to write a letter to the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, impressing upon him the necessity of an early answer, as, independently of the great delay and in jury to the commercial interests of the City, a great injury would accrue to private individuals.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer re plied, that the City should receive an answer in the course of the week. Afterwards the Remembrancer was directed to write to the Lords of the Treasury to re quest the honour of an interview with the Board before they came to any decision. The Committee had been waiting for that conference for the last week, and the Re membrancer had since made several personal applications, but had as yet received no notice from their Lordships. In the London bridge Approaches Act a similar clause had been introduced, and the Treasury had not in any one instance interfered with the elevation of any of those splen did buildings which had been erected, and which he trusted were highly satisfactory to the public.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. DIXON asked whether the Treasury had provided any funds towards the erection of the building ? Mr. JONES replied that they had not provided a single shilling for the purpose, nor had the Act of Parliament. Mr. ROBINSON said, that his object in making the in quiry was to show that the Corporation had nothing to do with the delay.—(Hear, hear.) PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM TO MR. THOMAS CLARK SON AND VOTE OF A BUST OF mat. Mr. Sheriff WOOD rose and spoke as follows :—lt is im_ possible for me to do justice to a character so high and i 11 ustriou s as that' of lita , :Thomas Clarkson, but Alak.babit..of the Court in honouring the memory of the great encou razes me to ask them to aid me by its acclamation in a tri bute of respect to the subject of my notice of motion. The Court has recorded the valour of heroes who have fought the battles of their country against despotism for the sem , rity of civil liberty, and has also, in the person of Mr. Gran ville Sharpe, recorded their approbation of one who stood forward against the combined opinions of such able lawyers as Yorke and Talbot, who maintained that a slave might be recaptured in this country, and returned to slavery ; and he, by retiring to the study of the law, after three years of close study, removed the legal difficulty, and, on the trial of the great question, lived to see the Judges of the land, in 1772, judicially declaring that a man could not be a slave in England.—(Cheers.) He made a war fare against the personal sufferings of the slave, but Clarkson attacked the trade, and I read his own account of its atrocities in the following eloquent and pathetic passage :—" Many evils of a public nature which existed in former times, were the offspring of igno rance and superstition, and they were subdued of course by the progress of light and knowledge, but the evil in question began in avarice ; it was nursed also by worldly interest. It did not, therefore, so easily yield to the usual correctives of disorders in the world. We may observe, also, that the interest by which it was thus supported was not that of a few individuals, nor of one body, but of many bodies of men—it was interwoven again into the sys tem of the commerce and of the revenue of nations. Hence the merchant, the planter, the mortgagee, the ma nufacturer, the politician, the legislator, the Cabinet Mi nister, lifted up their voices against the annihilation of it." It is right, however, that the Court should know a little of the history of this trade, and, claiming indulgence, I will briefly state that it had its commencement as a transfer of the population of one country to bondage in another under a Portuguese monarch in 1503. It was enlarged by Ferdi nand V. in 1511, and in an amiable feeling Las Cases sought to regulate the trade ; but Ximenes, the Regent of Spain, in the minority of Charles V., would not listen to anything of the kind, declaring it an unholy traffic. Thus we have a a distinguished Prince and dignitary of' the Church condemn ing a practice which has been a stain upon our nation. Louis XIII. was duped into a consent to its continuance, and the English Elizabeth was deceived by misrepresenta tions of its consequences and effects ; but when the subject was submitted to her she declared it to be detestable, and that it would call down the vengeance of Heaven ; never theless the trade flourished. Man acquired a property in his fellow, and all those acts of barbarity and wretchedness ensued which excited the sympathy of the philanthropist, and the zeal of the benevolent. I shall not stop here to ex plain or enforce, because I have already given you in his own words the pathetic appeal of the great man whose name I wish to adorn the rolls of this city.—(Cheers.) In this juncture Providence seemed to open the way for the labours of the youthful Clarkson. At college, under the instruc tion of Dr. Peckhard, his labours and his feelings received their bias, and while only a candidate for collegiate honours he became acquainted with facts which, operating on his judgment, determined his future life, and while he wished to be distinguished as a gentleman and a scholar, he appears to have been ordained for the higher honour of proclaiming freedom to the captive, and providing the means of happiness and comfort to the distressed.— (Cheers.) Dr. Peckhard proposed a subject connected x ith slavery for the prize essay. Clarkson read and wrote and obtained the prize. It was the essay not merely of a can didate for fame, but it was a subject resulting from deep research, carrying conviction to the judgment, and insensibly ' controlling the feelings. The man was formed at the school, a strong proof of the necessity of inculcating on the juvenile mind, nay, of enforcing it as a maxim, that all edu cation should be based on sound principles, corrected and improved by religious precepts. Thus in 1785 Clarkson became, contrary to his expectations, in opposition to his in terests, great as they were in the church ; large as were his hopes from other quarters, endangering all—l say, with all those youthful feelings and frightful oppositions, he became the advocate and champion of liberty tothecaptive, freedom to the slave, and of honour to his native country. In 1786 he published his essay ; did I say published ? I mean not in the ordinary sense of publication for gain. He dis tributed it not by parcel or accidental delivery, but that essay was the sword in hand to attack opposition to his new tenets, or to introd uce hi m to the most distinguished of statesmen and senators, and with no other recommendation he gained access to two men, the greatest of their day, who, though opposed to each other on political grounds had one common point on which they triumphantly and'cordially united, and that was denouncing the unholy and abominable traffic of dealing in human lives.—( Cheers) Those great and illustrious men are now identical with our history, and, however men may approv e or disapprove of their political opinions, all will, as far as .the subject of slavery goes, triumph i n th e names of Pitt and Fox as the great men of their day, who by different routes aimed at the establish ment of liberty, and sought the moral benefit of mankind. —(Great applause.) Somewhere about this time a few of the Society of Friends associated with Mr. Clarkson; ulti mately a Committee was formed, and for the first time some concerted plan was adopted to abolish the slave trade, all previous efforts having been directed only to the personal suffering s of the individual. Let us pause here, and with- out anything further contemplate an instance of personal devotedness to principle which exemplifies the opinion be. fore alluded to. We see the germ of a g reat and extra ordinary m an fi rs t devel o ping hi mse lf, and proving beyond all doubt that the liberty of the subject based on just principles was his only object. But this perseverance con. tinued through countless opposition and difficulties until 1805, during which time he travelled 35,000 miles annually, correspondedspeuta large with sum of money, four hundmreuy, without fordpersons seeking a sevenyea u rs ; and otherrecoens I recompense than was in 1805 that he published the approbation of his con science.—(Cheers.)own his history, beautiful for its simplicity, its accuracy, and fidelity. I shall read the observations of his Reviewer, that review being Mr. Coleridge's ; his language is empha. tic, his reasoning correct, and the whole so well expressed, that I shall now read the following passage :—" It is the history of its removal, of the means employed, of the pa tience exerted, of the fears and prudential sophistries which incessantly tempted virtuous hope to despondency, and of the glorious success which at length rewarded its perse verance. Finally, this interesting tale, is related, not by a descendant, but by a contemporary—not by a distant spec tator, but by a participator of the contest, and of all the many participators, by the man confessedly the most efficient —the man whose unparalleled labours in this work of love and peril leave on the mind of a reflecting reader the sub lime doubt which of the two will have been the greater final gain to the moral world—the removal of the evil, or the proof thereby given what mighty effects single good men may re alise by self devotion and perseverance." After this, need I say more, except to remind you that hitherto the standard of England has been seen on the coast of Africa only to ter rify its inhabitants? Now that standard is the emblem of peace; it is the standard of protection to the oppressed ; it is the way to lead commercial industry to a market where every one, whatever may be his colour, may obtain a fair re muneration for his honest industry, and by commercial asso ciations derive also those means of moral improvement which are always attendant upon commercial intercourse. You have adopted a principle in the case of that distinguished missionary, Mr. M'Adams, in support of whose labours I had the honour to propose and you to grant GOO/. towards his exertions in the Polynesian Islands, thus opening a new field of commerce, and at the same time exhibiting a most splendid specimen of moral improvement. You have in Mr. Clarkson a gentleman whose exertions have laid the foundation of greater results ; you have now the whole of Africa as your dependent and adoring friend ; and you will have the gratitude of all the virtuous and the good if you number Mr. Clarkson among the freemen of this city, whose name may b e handed down to posterity as the friend to the distressed of his species, an example to the rising generation and an instance of what may be acheved by individual perseverance. — (Cheers.) I dare not trespass further on the Court ; 1 have occupied much time, though I have for the subject, used great brevity ; the subject, I feel, is exhaustless ; but the eulogy of the man must be founded on your own convictions. You have the plain, retiring, humble, but devoted and persevering Christian, acting on principle, denying and depriving himself for others, and those the distressed, neglected, and despised of the world, and I ask, nay 1 anticipate, your entire approval of the measure I have introduced. Claiming your pardon for the time I have occupied, I yet have the confidence to solicit your united concurrence in the motion I now read,—" That the freedom of this city in a gold box, value one hundred gui neas, be presented to Thomas Clarkson, A.M., as a small • but grateful testimonial of the Corporation of London to the public services and worth of one who had the merit of originating, and has the consolation of living to witness the triumph of, the great struggle for the deliverance of the enslaved A frican from the most oppressive bondage that ever tried the endurance of afflicted humanity, thereby obtaining for his country the high distinction of separating her commercial greatness from principles incompatible with the exercise of the religion of mercy, and achiev ing a moral victory, whose trophies shall endure while Ins tice, freedom, the clemency of power, and the peaceful glories of civilization shall have a place in the admiration of mankind." Sir PETER LAURIE—I have wry great satisfaction in seconding the motion of my Hon. Friend, which is not more complimentary to Mr. Clarkson than honourable to this Corporation. Some more costly tribute might, with great justi ce , b e suggeste d , b ut none more appropriate than the freedom of the first city in the world to the man by whose exertions real and substantial freedom has been be stowed upon thous an d s o f hi s f e ll ow-men. We have in this , chamber the bust of Granville Sharpe, to whom we were in debted for thatTimud boast, that thatiment a slave touched the shores of England, that instant he was free : 1 say were --- 7" indebted, because I consider slavery at an end, and in 1840 there will not be a slave in the British dominions. But who first roused the people of this country to the foul stain we have so tardily wiped off? Who struck the first blow at the fetters of the slave ? Thomas Clarkson. His whole life has been devoted to this stupendous work of charity, and his great reward on earth has been to see it ac complished. Unlike the men whose portraits decorate this chamber, his victory has been a bloodless one—it has been the conquest of mercy, the triumph of Chris tianity.—(Cheers.) So silent, so unostentatious has been ihis philanthropy, that his claim to public gratitude was almost forgotten in the day of success, and I thank my Hon. Friend for suggesting this public recognition of Mr. Clarkson's merits. Few have been so fortunate as to see their exertions crowned with success. Mr. Clarkson's first attempt at this great work was an essay on the abolition of slavery, which gained the medal at his University. He has watched its birth, its rise, its progress, its maturity, with no other ambition but that of doing good —no desire of power, but that of ameliorating misery —no wish for a nobler title than the friend of the friendless and the protec tor of the oppressed.---(Cheers.) Mr. Deputy PEACOCK, Mr. ANDERTON, and Mr. Alder man VENABLES, bore testimony to the high character of the gentleman whom the Court designed to honour. Mr. R. TAYLOR thought that a bust ought to be voted in honour of Mr. Clarkson's extraordinary exertions, as well as a gold box enclosing the freedom , L-(Cheers.) The bust would most properly occupy a space in that Court, and remain there as a testimonial of the warm approbation felt by every member of it for the virtuous individual whom it would represent. A more amiable man, or one more devoted to the high duties he had prescribed to him self, could not be found. Alderman WHITE said, that the Court had been in the habit of celebrating the vulgar triumphs of war and of party by votes, and he congratulated them upon so fine an oppor tunity of celebrating a triumph of a different kind.— (Cheers.) He hoped that the Court would adopt some lasting memorial of Mr. Clarkson, which would meet the eye and excite the competition of the rising generation. Mr. KING requested to be informed of the expense of a bust ? Mr. FIRTH replied that the bust of Granville Sharpe cost l.sol.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. GALLOWAY said it would be but an act of common justice to vote a piece of plate to Mr. Clarkson, and to place a bust of him in that Chamber. He trusted that the Sheriff would consent to alter his motion, so as to meet the general wish of the Court. Mr. Sheriff WooD said he felt the deepest gratitude to the Corporation for the readiness and warmth with which they responded to his proposition, and he embraced the suggestion as to the bust with the highest gratification. He had felt some hesitation as to the bust, as he did not know what would be the probable expense, but that hesi tation was now completely removed.—(Hear, hear.) The Sheriff then so amended his motion as to make it adapted to the general feeling of the Court, and it was agreed to unanimously, and by acclamation. ELECTION OF A SUPERINTENDEN T OF THE CITY NEW POLICE. The Court proceeded to the election of a Superinten Gent under the new City Police Act, when Mr. Whithair, who has been nearly six years at the head of the City Police, and whose exe r ti ons h ave g i ven the utmost satisfaction to the citizens of London, was unanimously chosen.—Ad journed. MEDICO-BOTANICAL SOCIETY. —..The first meet ing for the season was held last week. Dr. Sigmund commenced by delivering a lecture on the cultivation of the tea plant. The learned professor, after advert ing to the mystery in which the system of the Chinese in preparing, tea had been for some centuries enveloped, pro ceeded to explain its culture. It appeared that when the time for picking the finest sorts of tea arrived, the la bourers employed were compelled to avoid gross food, and adopt the purest diet ; and, moreover, that they per formed the operation in gloves. The authorities quoted showed that this extreme delicacy was for the purpose of preventing the slightest injury to the leaf from the breath or skin. It would be as well if this example of cleanli ness was followed by the tea dealers of England. The Chinese who could afford it drank their tea strong ; an d they had a proverb by which the poverty of the individual was implied, who " drinks weak tea and eats insipid rice." Samples were exhibited of every variety of tea imported. into this country and the continent. Among other varieties there were some fine specimens of the P e k oe use d i n Rus sia, the " caravan teas . which are brought overland through Kiachta, and the Howqua's mixture tea. That the Hong merchants used not generally to deliver for ex portation their finer sorts there was no doubt ; for it was proved by the fact that since the opening of the trade many new varieties had been brought to England, and, amongst others, he would mention the " Howqua's Mix ture," which had now become a standard tea in this coml.. try. The flower of the China tea plant had a fine and. fra-. grant aroma, and differed in the form of its blossoms front the lately-discovered Assam tea shrub. The learned! pro., fessor ably illustrated his observations by elegant paiiitinos 0-141 the property of Mrs. Morrison.
